This saves code space in builds which use link-time optimization.
The optimization drops the untranslated strings and replaces them
with a compressed_string_t struct. It can then be decompressed to
a c string.
Builds without LTO work as well but include both untranslated
strings and compressed strings.
This work could be expanded to include QSTRs and loaded strings if
a compress method is added to C. Its tracked in #531.
This is not strictly needed in order for #1056 to be resolved,
because the "make long-lived" machinery is unaware of this pointer.
However, as UARTs are assumed to be long-lived, this change is
beneficial because it moves the long-lived buffer into the upper
memory area with other long-lived objects, instead of remaining in
the low heap.
Its slimmed down by removing the qstr and bit packing TCC info.
The trinket m0 build actually grows by 20 bytes. The arduino zero
build shrinks by 188 bytes.
We added a check to make sure the pins are in a high state before
initing the bus. This leads to a friendly error message when someone
forgets to add the pull up resistors to their circuit.
The following error occurs when building with gcc 5.4.1 (debian stretch):
common-hal/busio/UART.c:104:83: error: 'sercom_index' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
sercom_insts[rx->sercom[j].index]->USART.CTRLA.bit.ENABLE == 0) ||
It may be related to the addition of rx-only UARTs; gcc is unable
to infer the intended relationship between have_tx and sercom_index
being set (I am still not entirely confident of it myself)
1. UART: ported to ASF4. Allow rx-only and tx-only. Add .baudrate r/w property.
2. Make NeoPixel timing deterministic by turning off caches during NeoPixel writes.
3. Incorporate asf4 updates:
a. async USART driver
b. bringing Atmel START configuration closer to what we use
c. Clock initialization order now specified by CIRCUITPY_GCLK_INIT_1ST and _LAST.
4. supervisor/port.c: Move commented-out clock-test pin setting to correct location.
all: Add .frequency read-only property for busio.SPI to return actual frequency.
Fix esp8266/posix_helpers.c, which was not up to date for the new
long-lived/short-lived heap allocation scheme.
Also, fixed pin mappings for rev B Metro M4:
swap PA12 and PA13 on SPI 2x3 header
swap A3 and A5
Comment out all frozen modules in CPX again to make room while waiting
for SPI flash.
* Added asf4_conf/samd*/hpl_sercom_config.h
* Adjusted clocks in peripheral_clk_config.h.
* Put some frozen libs back in CPX for testing.
* Implement common-hal I2C
* Add samd*_peripherals.h in parallel with samd*_pins.h for common
functions and data.
* Store SERCOM index in pins table for convenience.
* Canonicalize some #include guard names in various .h files.
simpler reset of SERCOMs; remove unused routine
